Just checking in again. I paid $38,000 for the 74 Warrior, 2780 TT & 365 on a Millenium overhaul. Of course a guy could pay less & more for a similar plane, it all comes down to specifics. I sold some land in MI I don't go to, still have another camp property in a partnership. I took that land $$ & sunk it into this plane, no loans anywhere. Like I may of said above, the main reason is to fly with the boys. I used to own a Cherokee 140 but sold it back in the early 90's. This week coming up is Spring break & I will be flying at least a few times.
I have some time off in June. I was thinking about flying out West for some 'dogtown' action. I went twice before near Murdo, SD. I've been eyeing Sheridan, WY & then rent a vehicle & hook up with a local outfitter. Anyone have any other ideas? How about trade a little flying for some time at your private dogtown?
Yes I debated the plane idea much before the purchase. At least I don't have a high $$ SUV on my want list.
